Seattle Police Chief to Residents, Business Owners: You’re on Your Own

[Yarddog]

looked like an open question, if you want specifics that limit the question put some in.

That is not necessary when I am replying to a specific person about what they claimed. You jumped into that discussion and took it off in another direction with something that did not apply. The onus is on you to understand the discussion before jumping in.

So, do you think that it's okay to stop and search an individual while he is window shopping to stop him from shop lifting?

What if someone is "window shopping" while wearing a baggy trench coat during summer time? Police have every right to stop and frisk suspicious-looking people even if they didn't see them commit a crime.

Those kinds of things happen in a public forum, you do know that this is a public forum right?

I don't think that you read the post to which I responded to.

Yes, do you? I am not required to qualify my post for everyone who wants to jump in without understanding the discussion.

it is foolish to limit the police to having only clubs and guns.

The whole letter from the Police Chief is code for "you are on your own"

And well it should be because that is exactly what the city council is saying to the police, along with we are going to reduce your funding by 50% and not prosecute any of the people who assaulted your officers.

Exactly, or if they have black skin. Can't be too careful.

Worst comparison ever. Try harder next time.
